The Voice of the Earth
by Nabiha Naomi, Grade 8
Read out at the Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots Awards 2018
Do you not see the raging storms
Do you not feel the rising heat
My frozen lands are losing their form
Their inhabitants are losing their home
I was created for you
To sustain and shelter you
Now it’s your turn
To move towards sustainability
In abundance the sun shines
In abundance the rivers flow
In abundance the winds blow
Use these that I freely provide
You put me on hold
Not just for you but your children too
Together let us move forward
Generation to generation
To save,
Sustain
And survive.
